Yes, I've seen the discussions about the license, but I thought it was
solved.

Given that The Qt Company is selling the QtPdf module under a commercial

they remove the QtPdf artefacts from the QtWebEngine packages. That would
make sense for commercial users.

However, for open source users it looks like a bug in the installer.
